Gas prices are brutal right now. Gov. Healey is even proposing a temporary gas tax suspension as fuel prices climb. So maybe skip the road trip this weekend (and any outdoor plans ☔). We’ve got a much cheaper way to get out of the house: free tickets for Beoga on Sunday.

REAL TALK WITH BOSTON BADDIES

What happens when two best friends turn their FaceTime spirals into a podcast? For Samira Francois and Alyssa Silva, that became the Baddie Besties Podcast, a growing community where women can get real about careers, expectations and defining success for themselves. Meet the Boston duo reminding women they don’t have to follow a blueprint… they can build something better.

THIS WEEKEND

Your Car Insurance Company Does Not Love You

You've stayed with the same car insurance company for years (admirable), but they have never, ever thought about you. They are NOT working behind the scenes to save you money, which means you might not have the lowest rate. Money.com's free tool compares quotes from multiple providers in minutes to see how much you may or may not be getting screwed over by your car insurance company. Check your rate!*

LOCALS ONLY

• Drink tea, then defy gravity. The Avery Bar is bringing back Afternoon Tea with a Wicked-inspired menu of pink-and-green pastries and drinks for the musical’s return to Boston.

• Snoopy shoes? Good grief, take our money. Get a custom pair at the Peanuts pop-up this weekend.
